The crypto industry in 2019 has had many events this year, and some of them are worth mentioning just for the comic effect.
Justin Sun’s meeting with Warrent Buffet
Earlier this year, a charity that provided lunch with legendary Wall Street investor Warren Buffet. TRON CEO Justin Sun has paid $ 4.5 million to promote cryptocurrencies. He planned to invite more industry personalities at that lunch.
Sun later postponed the meeting and was finally canceled, to the disappointment of the industry.
Retrospectives for 2019
TRON Tombola with a Tesla prize
Justin Sun also generated a PR disaster with a raffle that had a Tesla car. He announced that to celebrate the TRON-Tether partnership, he will be giving away a Tesla Model S.
Many members of the crypto community were immediately skeptical, but others were hopeful. The ad on Twitter exploded, and when it came time to extract the winner, Sun used the random selection software TWrench. When he posted the video, it was quickly removed due to a “glitch” and “large file size”. The community later learned that the draw was forged and that the name of the “winner” appeared before the program was run.
Poloniex and the DigyByte list
A crypto project known as DigiByte has put in a lot of effort to be listed on some of the biggest exchanges. Poloniex eventually listed the DGB token, but quickly delisted it after the project’s founder began criticizing important industry names on Twitter.
Jared Tate, the founder of DigiByte, said:
“I got tired of the nonsense in this industry. I haven’t spent the last 8 years of my life on this project to sit and watch as blockchain technology is hijacked by a bunch of scams like @justinsuntron and @cz_binance. “
Many members of the crypto community have concluded that Justin Sun, one of the investors who recently bought Poloniex, was disturbed by these comments.
Craig Wright and the Bitcoin whitepaper
Craig Wright has been trying for several years to claim the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. However, Wright never managed to move a single coin belonging to Satoshi, the only evidence that would be accepted by the community.
In one of his latest attempts, he claimed he has a “mountain of evidence”, including historical documents. For example, he claimed to own the handwritten bitcoin Bitcoin whitepaper, which includes “coffee stains and rusty staples.” It’s certainly a fun statement, but by no means a credible proof.
BitMEX and customer emails
Perhaps the biggest blow this year was made by the BitMEX platform. The Exchange sent an email notification that included the clients’ email addresses. It is estimated that over 400,000 e-mail addresses associated with the accounts on the platform have been revealed.
